Never underestimate the bounds of our idiocy. We didn't quite understand it in the forum either. It's stupid. MY guess is that though we are interviewing quite a few candidates, the only ones who are viable candidates are the ones who come in pairs as GM and coach. The rest is window dressing. Otherwise, we may actually hire a coach before hiring a GM _________________

Looks like Kelly is going back to college. Cal has offered him the job.

As for the 49ers... no respected HC/GM is going to want to work for York. 49ers will have to settle for a re-tread or a young/inexperienced guy hoping to break thru. If I'm the 49ers I'd go for the latter._________________Mack on the sig

Is there a quote where it's been offered? He was immediately linked to it, but I haven't heard anythign about them reaching out to him or offering him anything. Saw that they named an interim coach._________________

Caserio and Ballard either declined or permission wasn't granted.

But do you consider guys like Wolf, Gutekunst, Paton, Fitterer, Kirchner or Beane respected? No doubt working under York isn't the most ideal situation, but I think you still get solid GM candidates just for the simple fact jobs don't open up all that often. There are six HC vacancies but only one GM opening._________________

Bolded: Organizations cannot deny individuals the opportunity to interview for GM with all authoritative decision making responsibilities or HC positions, per the CBA. If they're not interviewing, they're either not afforded enough contractual authority or they're simply not interested.

The Chiefs do have the right to deny interviews up until the season is over. After that he could take the interview. But I think in his case, he just may not be all that interested in the job.

Last year the Packers denied Wolf an interview with the Lions GM position.

I assumed you were talking about an outside denial to interview, not a delay. That's different altogether.

Yes and once upon a time NO denied current Chicago GM Ryan Pace from interviewing for the vacant Miami GM position because it didn't represent a clear promotion in terms of authority, as the structure there wasn't conducive to full authority over personnel coaching decisions (Which eventually went to Mike Tannebaum a year or so later if I remember correctly though I may not, as I don't pay much attention to Miami or the AFC East). Detroit obviously did not indicate this as at the time of request.
